General Conditions

This web document represents the entire agreement between the client and Alter Adria. Ltd., who is the tour operator. Alter Adria Ltd. will be responsible to the client for supplying the services and accommodation as described at alteradria.hr, except where such services cannot be supplied, or the itinerary used is changed due to delays or other causes of whatever kind or nature beyond the control of Alter Adria Ltd.

In such circumstances, we will do our best to supply comparable services, accommodations and itineraries, and there shall be no refund in this connection. Alter Adria Ltd. and its agents (collectively 'Alter Adria') act only as agent for the client and upon the express condition that Alter Adria shall not be liable or responsible for any direct, indirect, consequential or incidental damage, injury, loss, accident, delay or irregularity of any kind, which may be occasioned by reason of any act or omission of any third party (including without limitation, any act, inaction or breach of contract of any third party, which is to or does supply any goods or services for this trip). Without limiting the foregoing, Alter Adria Ltd. does not own or operate any third party suppliers of services such as hotels, restaurants, transportation companies, sightseeing companies or local tour operators. It is not responsible for any injury, death, loss or expense due to overbooking of accommodations, default of any third parties, sickness, weather, strikes, acts of God, act of Government, acts of terrorism, criminal activity, war, quarantine, force majeure events or any other cause beyond its control. All such risk, loss and expense must be borne by the client. Occasionally, it may be necessary to alter or amend itineraries, accommodation and sightseeing arrangements from those published. This may be due to road, weather and other operational needs prevailing at the time, and is always made in the best interests of your comfort. Any personal expenses incurred by a client as a result of any delay, alteration or curtailment of any tour, whether caused by mechanical defect, strikes or any other cause are the responsibility of the client (we strongly recommend all clients take out Travel Insurance, see your licensed travel agent). The operator is unable to guarantee exact arrival and departure times, and is not liable for any failure to make connections with any other service, or guarantee the operation of any particular service. In the case of breakdown and other unforeseen circumstances, the operator reserves the right to substitute vehicles other than specified, to ensure the operation of a tour. These vehicles/vessels will be modern vehicles/vessels and may not have some of the features described. Please note that if you arrange for payment through an unaccredited agent, the unaccredited agent is not our agent for the purpose of receipt of monies. Receipt of deposits and subsequent payments by the travel agent does not constitute receipt of those monies by us, and the travel agent has no authority, expressed or implied, to receive monies on our behalf. There is no liability on our part, in respect of any monies paid to your travel agent. The company reserves the right to cancel any ticket or booking, or to refuse to carry any client where payment has not been received by the company within the specified time. The company reserves the right to amend or cancel tours at any time.

Travel Companion

All travel companions parties agree to take the tour together on their own will and accord. Disparities financially, culturally, or personally are each party's responsibility to resolve and must not affect the overall tour in any fashion. If one party cancels their part of the tour, all additional penalties or charges associated with the cancellation of the departing party's tour must be paid by the departing party in full. This ensures the departing party leave the attending parties and their tour in good standing.

Travel companion orders are fully nonrefundable after the payments have been submitted by each travel companion party. Travel companion tours cannot change departure dates unless all parties consent to the departure date change. Airport transfers for travel companion orders follow the same standards as airport transfers provided on normal tours. No additional accommodation alteration to a tour may be made once the tour has been confirmed.

All parties herein agree to the policies and bindings of a travel companion booking and terms and conditions and have agreed to the continuation of the tour in each party's good faith and understanding.

Multiple pick up locations and times may not be available for all tours. Travel companion parties must decide on one pick up location to meet at for the tour (for tours offering pick up location services) or one airport transfer service time (for tours offering airport transfer services; one airport and one transfer per party). We suggest the selected pick up location to be equidistant from each travel companion or the selected airport transfer time to be the later of the two airport arrivals (early arrival travel companion should wait for the later arrival travel companion for one transfer).
